Learn more about your impact
This scholarship supports first-generation students with a passion for serving vulnerable populations through initiatives related to public health, mental health, homelessness, addiction, and re-entry/rehabilitation. These are the students who will be tomorrow's leaders in addressing issues such as homelessness and addiction in our communities. Your generosity helps offset educational expenses for students working alongside local public sector organizations and serving vulnerable populations.
Impact of Donor Support

- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
